Sep 06 07 12:11 am Link Bump for recent relevance. May 14 08 10:43 am Link I barter quite a bit. Many women in my "circle" who have skills but cannot afford to pay, barter for things like fitness, massage, lessons, babysitting etc. It works when both parties are equally interested in the stuff being traded. May 14 08 10:47 am Link I love moneyless paid work! Food gets me every time. So far, I have been compensated with the following: Lunch. Cheese. Just cheese. Goggles. A chocolate malt. Gas. Six gourmet cupcakes (since I spent 8 hours in a corset on my 18th birthday). A handmade choker. May 14 08 11:47 am Link I love to trade also. I would be open to different kinds of exchanges but at the moment I've been doing a lot of trade for content. So I model for free and the photographer shoots some sets that I need for free. Everyone wins and you build great working relationships with other professionals. May 14 08 04:42 pm Link Over the years I've done countless "barter" shoots. Some have been: Figure session for my use in exchange for a Portfolio session for models. " " " " " " " " had shots for actors and Pr shots for musicians, actors and one comedian. Figure session in exchange for custom portrait sessions. Head shots of radio station on air personnel in exchange for free ad time. Exterior and interior shots of restaurant for their advertising and use on the menu in exchange for a number of free meals for myself and a guest. PR and ad shots of resort hotels in exchange for no cost accommodations. Barter can be good! May 14 08 05:18 pm Link One of two concert tickets I scored. If I'm in New York and need food, water, and coffee! May 14 08 05:21 pm Link I was thinking about this thread just yesterday. Then today it came up again in another thread. So... bumped for relevance. My latest TF* was a photoshoot for a place to stay when traveling. Dec 05 08 05:37 am Link To the OP - Travel is the best and most effective way to get my complete attention. Also, if I am in a place where I have never been or am traveling to and from, travel is good too. A place to stay is good as well. Other than that, cash is appropriate. I have shot for a good meal, and of course provided a good meal. Oh yeah, and photos, I have provided photos. Dec 05 08 05:49 am Link oldguysrule wrote: TXPhotog wrote: It's a trade of services.

Time For Printer I upgraded my printer, and a model that I'd just shot with saw the one that I was tossing out and offered to shoot for it. I told her it's flaws and good points, how old it was and told her to put a time value for it that she thought was fair. Both left the shoot happy. I need to do more of this stuff... Apr 30 09 10:03 am Link I just did a job this year for a fishing pole and tackle. I can now fish from my pier anytime I want to.. I also accepted a job for a Peter Murphy print from 1983. & another job for sales rights to certain images (now I get to make prints and sell them) I might accept a job in trade for some seamless BG this month woot!!!

Apr 30 09 10:10 pm Link I prefer models barter with someone for cash and then use that cash to barter with me. With that being said, if any models can replace a transmission on a Jeep, I'll be willing to barter that.
